Fire fighters can cut steel wires on light bulbs after 17 years of hard training.
△ Video: "Challenge Impossible"
CCTV News:Today is "119" Fire Day, and some people call fire fighters "retrograde heroes", because whenever there is a crisis, all people are retreating backwards, and only fire officers and soldiers are going retrograde. Touched by the spirit of courage to take responsibility and dedication for these lovely people, their superb skills are also impressive and admirable.
No, recently, an armed police fire fighter in Gansu province showed his exquisite skill of blindly cutting steel wires on light bulbs with a toothless saw in the inspirational program "Challenge Impossible".
Fire fighters blindly cut steel wire bulbs on the bulbs without any damage.
The soldier’s name is Li Haifeng, and his challenge is to blindly cut the steel wire fixed above the light bulb through a thick steel plate with a toothless saw.

The distance between the steel wire and the bulb is only 0.01 mm.

After 45 seconds, the steel wire broke with a bang, and Li Haifeng quickly received the force, and the light bulb was not damaged at all.


In the end, Li Haifeng challenged successfully and won applause and exclamations at the scene. Of course, such skills are not limited to stage performances, but are more used in Li Haifeng’s rescue work.
For example, once, a 16-year-old boy couldn’t get the ring off his hand. After trying to cut the ring with tools such as steel bar breaker, pliers and saw, Li Haifeng decided to use a toothless saw.

He wrapped the boy’s hand with a towel in order to prevent the sparks from cutting from hurting his skin. During the cutting process, he kept watering the boy’s hands to cool down because of the fever.

In the end, Li Haifeng sawed off the ring with a toothless saw and successfully saved the boy’s finger.

After 17 years of practice, I have developed an extraordinary stunt.
When Li Haifeng challenged to cut the steel wire, he relied on hearing and touch. He said, "The right ear captures the sound of the engine, and the left ear distinguishes the friction of the grinding wheel." The summary of a short sentence embodies the sweat and hardships of 17 years.

In 1999, 19-year-old Li Haifeng joined the army from Hebei and became a fire fighter of Gansu Baiyin Fire Brigade. A few years before joining the army, Li Haifeng has been the squad leader of the rescue class, specializing in demolition technology. In 2010, he began to try to cut the steel wire on the light bulb with a toothless saw. From the initial watching to the later blindfolded cutting, Li Haifeng exchanged three years of tenacity and sweat for the unique skills in the country today.
"In three years, I chopped up more than 1,000 light bulbs." Li Haifeng said that from the initial lack of confidence and the discouragement of countless failures, he experienced painful hardships again and again. "Now, I have formed a deep feeling with the light bulb."
Facing the test of life and death, be a pioneer in emergency rescue again and again.
Since joining the army at the end of 1999, this military uniform has given Li Haifeng a strong sense of mission. At the age of 36, he rescued 188 people in distress, protected tens of millions of materials and property, and won many honors. He is currently the deputy director of the training department of Gansu Provincial Public Security Fire Brigade, and his injuries are as many as the awards he won.
Over-training and accidents in many rescue accidents, Li Haifeng suffered six fractures, numerous minor injuries, severe varicose veins in both legs, and unbearable pain at the fracture site every cloudy day. And he said: "There will be a lot of aerial work in fire fighting and rescue, and there will be many accidents in emergency rescue, which will inevitably lead to sprains and bruises, which is normal."

Now I have a skill, but I was afraid at the beginning. Li Haifeng recalled that in 2000, not long after he joined the army, he once performed a extinguishing task, and the squad leader asked Li Haifeng to set up the gas tank. "After the rescue of personnel was completed, in the face of the explosion of liquefied gas at any time, at the moment when all firefighters were ready to evacuate, the captain asked me to help the liquefied gas tank immediately. To be honest, I hesitated for a moment, because I was really scared. The liquefied gas tank was still breathing fire and could explode at any time. " Despite his inner fear, Li Haifeng did it at once. Just turning 20, he felt as if he had passed by death.

△ Li Haifeng participated in the second season of "Challenge Impossible".
I have participated in various rescues for more than 3,000 times in 17 years, but the more I have seen life and death, the deeper I feel awe. "I remember a multi-person car accident in Baiyin No.1 Road in 2013. When we rescued one of the ladies, she had no signs of life. At that time, her son kept crying, and her husband immediately knelt down and kept kowtowing to us and begged us to save her. At that time, I felt my heart was bleeding, and I really felt very ‘ Incompetence ’ . Life is particularly fragile, and all fame and fortune are not important in front of life. "
This job also gives Li Haifeng few opportunities to reunite with his family. Li Haifeng’s wife said in the program, "Although we get together less and leave more, the day we marry Li Haifeng, we are ready for all the psychological preparations we need to bear as a military spouse." A simple sentence made the host Dong Qing and many viewers shed tears on the spot.
Li Haifeng’s soul-shaking skill display is precisely because of his deep sense of responsibility and mission. He explained the word "hero" in peacetime with the most practical actions.
